Welcome to Episode 199 of Autism Parenting Secrets. 

Dr. Jerry Kartzinel joins us and we delve into holistic approaches for supporting children with autism, exploring the significance of dietary changes like gluten and dairy-free diets, the importance of addressing gut health sleep issues, and minimalizing the impact on siblings. 

Dr. Kartzinel is an internationally known author, lecturer, and clinician who has helped so many children recover from chronic debilitating diseases. 

For over 30 years, he’s been helping children and families regain health by some of the most natural means possible.

Dr. Kartzinel practiced traditional pediatric medicine until his fourth boy was diagnosed with Autism.

He realized that the traditional approach to medicine was limited to treating a disease state with a medication but with little thought about why the disease state occurred in the first place. 

Dr. Kartzinel turned to nutritional and preventative medicine for answers, and he practices integrative medicine—using supplements, diet modification, and, if necessary, prescription medications to manage the various medical challenges his patients face.

The secret this week is…

Autism IS Treatable

He is passionate about helping children and families regain health by some of the most natural means possible.

Both national and local media have featured Dr. Kartzinel’s approach to health and nutrition, including Larry King Live!, 20/20, and The Today Show.

Dr. Kartzinel received his Doctorate of Medicine at St. Louis University School of Medicine and completed his pediatric training at Keesler Air Force Base. Following Desert Storm, Dr. Kartzinel practiced traditional pediatric medicine until his fourth boy was diagnosed with Autism and all its related chronic diseases.

Dr. Kartzinel realized that the traditional approach to medicine was limited to treating a disease state with medication but with little thought about why the disease state occurred in the first place. The problem lies with chronically reoccurring diseases or conditions of the human being that just will not improve with a traditional approach.  Dr. Kartzinel turned to the field of nutritional and preventative medicine for answers. This new approach has demonstrated marked clinical improvements in his patients — way beyond what he had initially hoped for!
